others shrubby, cylindrical stemmed ones similar to those covering

CULTURE OF OPUNTIAS 
The Opuntias are the most widely distributed of 
cacti and certainly the most commonly seen on 
our deserts, There are two main groups: those with 
flat ‘‘leaves’’ or stems and those with round joints. 
Some are much branched and tree-like, others 
more simple or prostrate. They are everywhere 
found in the same localities and their culture is 
the same, There are several related cacti which 
are described here also, 

They all enjoy an open, porous, sandy loam soil 
and a moderate amount of water. Give as much 
light as possible when growing, though during the 
dormant winter season they will thrive with less, 
OPUNTIA SUBULATA

thick, round, rich green stems 
and large, true leaves. The 
large spines are the ones com- 
monly used to pin freshly graft-
